I have been a bit absent here, yet so very busy at work with a web-based software conversion that turned out to be a train wreck. Two years lost at conversion upload. I needed to discharge past tenants, admit the current tenants and rebuild all the financial records in order to bill for services. I have been a bit busy, oh and yes I also needed to run the building while learning the new software and rebuilding the files.Whew!

However, I am glad the project is far enough along for there to be a point of sanity and I can resume some sort of normal life, and just to clarify, normal is very underrated! Needless to say, during this time we ate what ever the hand touched. It might have been leftovers, or if I was lucky, something I threw into the crock-pot before going to work for the day.

This smelled so good baking!

Now I get to dig right in!

Today I found some broccoli in the vegetable drawer that still needed to be used. For me the term "needing to be used" indicates this is still fresh enough to be edible, and should be used up right away. Broccoli does tend to stay fresh for a longer time when refrigerated than many other vegetables. And I found this recipe over at Claudia's blog and wanted to give it a try with our favorite cornbread recipe as my starting point.

This looks as good as it sounds Melynda. I love cornbread with extras thrown in and I happen to be a big fan of broccoli. And you reminded me that I need to submit my biscotti recipe to Sue for her Making it With Cornmeal challenge. Whoops! Enjoy your day!

Wow will have to make this from scratch like you did! I love the crusty look for the top... sure came out wonderful! I love this bread, the fresh broccoli is the only way to go for me too! Yours is just perfection here! Thanks for making it from scratch cant wait to try your!

I have never had anything but the usual - corn and maybe peppers in my cornbread - what a great way to use up your broccoli - topped with lots of butter I bet it was amazing. Thanks for sharing this with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop!

That is a really interesting recipe and it baked up nicely. I hope things ease a bit for you at work. It sounds like you've been on a treadmill to oblivion. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary

This looks sooooo good! I would love this recipe, Melynda. I know it must have been comfort food after all you have been going through. I'm so sorry you are having all of those software issues. When I was a housing manager, we attempted to go through a software conversion and it was awful. I hope you get it worked out soon!

I hear knocking at the door, we have visitors!

A little about Our Sunday Cafe

Previously I was a SAHM, who returned to the work force 25+ years ago. My husband and I are returning to the homemade ways we grew up with in the comfort of our home and garden, as we plan for retirement. We prefer food from scratch and everything else in our lives to be just as honest. We work side by side, the recipes, ideas and photos shared are from us both and that is why it's call Our Sunday Cafe. Thanks for visiting!
